Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue immediately contacted Zhao Baoan and asked him to keep a close eye on Accountant Li's every move.

At the same time, she also arranged for Secretary Ma to secretly collect relevant information about Accountant Li.

Accountant Li was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, leaving almost no trace in the company.

He likes to be alone, rarely communicates with colleagues, and even spends his lunch break alone in the office.

Xiao Yue looked through the information collected by Secretary Ma with a frown on his face.

Accountant Li has a clean background and his work performance is up to standard. There is really nothing suspicious about him.

"Boss Xiao, we've run into a problem with restoring the information system." Programmer Liu's face turned grim. "A key module has been completely damaged. I need some special tools and equipment to repair it."

"What tools and equipment do you need? I'll arrange for someone to purchase them immediately." Xiao Yue asked anxiously.

Programmer Liu reported a string of equipment names, and Xiao Yue immediately contacted the supplier, but was told that these devices needed to be imported from abroad and would take at least a week to arrive.

A week!

Xiao Yue's heart sank. If the information system was paralyzed for one day, the company would suffer huge losses, let alone a week!

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Yue turned to look at Shen Ting with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Shen Ting pondered for a moment and said, "I know an expert in the field of information security. Maybe he can help." He immediately dialed the number, briefly explained the situation, and then handed the phone to Programmer Liu.

After Programmer Liu communicated with the expert for a few minutes, his expression gradually relaxed and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Mr. Xiao, the expert said he has a new technical idea that can try to bypass the damaged module and repair it!"

Under the remote guidance of the expert, Programmer Liu began to operate nervously.

Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the office became solemn and depressing.

Finally, Programmer Liu breathed a sigh of relief and a victorious smile appeared on his face.

"Boss Xiao, it's a success! The information system has returned to normal operation!"

Xiao Yue's heart finally settled down. She looked at Shen Ting gratefully, but found that he was looking at her intently with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly avoided his gaze, pretending to be calm and saying, "Let's continue investigating Accountant Li..." Before she could finish her words, Shen Ting's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly...

Shen Ting answered the phone with a gloomy expression. He responded briefly and then hung up.

He looked at Xiao Yue, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes: "There is something urgent at the company, I need to go back and deal with it."

Xiao Yue nodded in understanding: "You go and do your work, I'm here."

Shen Ting walked to the door, but stopped, looked back at Xiao Yue with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he walked up to Xiao Yue, gently picked a blooming white gardenia, and pinned it in her hair.

"Thank you for your hard work," his voice was low and gentle, "I'll come see you after I finish my work."

Xiao Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, and her fingertips gently touched the gardenia in her hair, and the faint fragrance was refreshing.

"Go ahead and get busy," she whispered, her heart beating uncontrollably.

After Shen Ting left, Xiao Yue immediately plunged into the intense investigation work.

However, at this time, some strange things happened one after another within the company.

First, the financial system malfunctioned, resulting in a large amount of data loss; then, some important documents disappeared; finally, even the company's internal surveillance video was maliciously deleted.

Xiao Yue realized that this was no accident.

The new suspect, Accountant Li, is like a ghost, manipulating all this in secret and deliberately creating chaos to interfere with her investigation.

"There's something wrong with Accountant Li!" Zhao Baoan ran into the office breathlessly. "I just saw him sneak into the archives room and come out with a file bag in his hand. I suspect..."

"Immediately retrieve the surveillance video at the door of the archive room!" Xiao Yue gave the order decisively.

However, when programmer Liu retrieved the surveillance video, he found that the video for that period had been deleted.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yue slammed the table hard, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

The other party was obviously well prepared and knew the company's internal situation very well.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She realized that if she continued to investigate using conventional methods, she would only fall into the other party's trap.

She needs to find another way and a breakthrough.

News also came from Detective Huang. After extensive investigation, he discovered that Accountant Li's true identity was not that simple.

He seems to have close ties with an overseas corporate espionage organization.

A bold idea flashed through Xiao Yue's mind.

She walked to the window, looked at the busy street below, and murmured to herself, "Perhaps, I should..." She turned abruptly and said to Zhao Baoan, "Arrange a car immediately, I want to go..."

Xiao Yue did not go directly to Accountant Li, but turned his attention to his assistant - a young and shy girl named Xiaoya.

Xiaoya is usually taciturn and has a very low presence, so almost no one notices her.

But Xiao Yue keenly noticed that Xiaoya's recent behavior was a little abnormal.

She always observed Accountant Li secretly, with a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in her eyes.

Xiao Yue deliberately created an opportunity to make Xiaoya mistakenly believe that Accountant Li was under investigation.

She arranged for Zhao Baoan to spread some rumors within the company, saying that the company had evidence that Accountant Li had embezzled public funds and was secretly investigating him.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Xiaoya's face turned pale and she looked panicked.

Xiao Yue observed Xiaoya's reaction calmly, and already had some guesses in his mind.

She pretended to walk over to Xiaoya casually and asked with concern, "Xiaoya, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiaoya raised her head suddenly, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No...no, I...I'm fine."

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and said gently, "Xiaoya, don't be nervous. I just care about you. Something happened in the company recently, and everyone is very nervous. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you."

Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist Xiao Yue's gentle attack, and told him what she knew in a halting manner.

It turned out that Accountant Li did have a problem. He was not a real corporate spy, but was coerced into helping the other party steal company secrets.

And the person who coerced him was his assistant Xiaoya!

Xiaoya's father is seriously ill and urgently needs a large sum of money for surgery.

The mastermind behind the scenes took advantage of this and forced Xiaoya to help him steal company secrets, promising to give her a large sum of money after the task was completed.

Xiaoya handed Xiao Yue a USB flash drive, which contained evidence of Accountant Li's contact with the mastermind behind the incident.

Although this evidence is not enough to bring the mastermind behind the incident to justice, it is enough to prove Accountant Li's innocence and point out a new direction for Xiao Yue's investigation.

New progress has also been made in the repair of information systems.

With the help of experts invited by Shen Ting, Programmer Liu has successfully repaired most of the damaged modules, but there is still one key module that cannot be repaired.

Time is running out, and Xiao Yue knows that he must find key evidence as soon as possible to complete the task within the deadline.

She looked at the sky outside the window which was gradually getting darker, and silently thought about her next move.

Suddenly, she remembered the gardenia that Shen Ting had pinned in her hair before he left. The faint fragrance still seemed to linger around her nose.

She gently stroked the petals, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Wait for me..." she whispered, picked up the phone and dialed a number...

"Help me check..."
